Description

Interactive tool for viewing, modifying and compositing drillhole samples.

How to use

This option allows you to interactively display and edit drillhole sample values (Filters may be used to control the data access if desired).

1. To view sample values, press and hold down the pointer button 1. The nearest sample will be highlighted and its values displayed in the editor panel. As you drag the pointer, other samples for the current hole are displayed. Release the button and another hole can be selected.

2. To display all information for the current sample, select the 'Report' option. If 'Report' is selected during the 'Composite' operation (q.v.), information for the most recently selected sample in the interval is displayed.

3. To edit values for a sample, select it with the pointer, values for the sample will be displayed in the editor panel. Modify values by first clicking in the desired field, then use the keyboard to edit or re-enter the required value. Up to 8 attributes may be displayed at any given time, to access a different field, click the desired field name button, and enter the name of a new field. The field must exist in the file. To store any changes, use the 'Update' button. To discard changes, select another sample, or use either of the 'Reset' or 'Quit' buttons.

4. To create composite values across multiple samples, first choose the 'Composite' option on the panel. Then select the desired sample interval for a hole by either dragging the pointer or clicking on the first and last samples. The edit panel will be updated with the current composited values for the interval as it is changed. The current interval length will also be displayed.

All attribute fields are composited (weighted by length and optionally by a weighting field (e.g. DENSITY) . For alphanumeric fields, the 'dominant' field (again by length*weight) is given. Once the interval is selected, you may further modify the indicated composite values by hand if desired (in the same manner as for the edit option above). Once satisfied with the displayed data, use the 'Update' button to modify all values for the indicated interval. To discard changes, select another sample, or use the 'Reset' button.

You must click Update before any changes are made to the data in memory. No changes are made to any of your original data files by this option (see the "write-drillholes" command for saving data).

 

The field 'FILENAME' is created automatically by the system, all new or modified records will have the filename set to ' ' (blank spaces). This is particularly useful when using filters.
